Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are many reasons for dandruff. Close examination can help diagnose the exact reason for dandruff. I am sharing some steps which usually help cure dandruff.

Use Mahabhringraj oil (any good brand) at night to massage scalp with finger tips. Saturate the scalp.
On the next morning, use herbal shampoo with minimal preservatives and chemicals. Rinse thoroughly afterwards. Remains of shampoo on the scalp also lead to white flakes on scalp.
Avoid using conditioner, in fact you will not need it if you once started using Mahabhringraj oil as said above.
Avoid using hair dryer.
Brush your hair regularly to remove any dead tissues.
In routine use a light refined oil.

If dandruff still persist, consult a dermatologist.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at icliniq.

Thank you.
